Gap junction alpha-1 protein (GJA1), bovine, recombinant

Organism: Bos taurus (Bovine). Source: in vitro E.coli expression system. Expression Region: 2-383aa. Protein Length: Full Length of Mature Protein. Tag Info: N-terminal 10xHis-tagged. Target Protein Sequence: GDWSALGKLL DKVQAYSTAG GKVWLSVLFI FRILLLGTAV ESAWGDEQSA FRCNTQQPGC ENVCYDKSFP ISHVRFWVLQ IIFVSVPTLL YLAHVFYVMR KEEKLNKKEE ELKVVAQTDG ANVDMHLKQI EIKKFKYGIE EHGKVKMRGG LLRTYIISIL FKSVFEVAFL LIQWYIYGFS LSAVYTCKRD PCPHQVDCFL SRPTEKTIFI IFMLVVSLVS LALNIIELFY VFFKGVKDRV KGKSDPYHTT TGPLSPSKDC GSPKYAYFNG CSSPTAPLSP MSPPGYKLVT GDRNNSSCRN YNKQASEQNW ANYSAEQNRM GQAGSTISNS HAQPFDFPDD HQNSKKLDAG HELQPLAIVD QRPSSRASSR ASSRPRPDDL EI. Purity: Greater than 85% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Endotoxin: Not test. Biological Activity: n/a. Form: Liquid or Lyophilized powder. Buffer: If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0. Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20 °C/-80 °C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference. Storage: The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. Notes: Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4 °C for up to one week. Relevance: Gap junction protein that acts as a regulator of bladder capacity. A gap junction consists of a cluster of closely packed pairs of transmembrane channels, the connexons, through which materials of low MW diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell. May play a critical role in the physiology of hearing by participating in the recycling of potassium to the cochlear endolymph. Negative regulator of bladder functional capacity: acts by enhancing intercellular electrical and chemical transmission, thus sensitizing bladder muscles to cholinergic neural stimuli and causing them to contract. May play a role in cell growth inhibition through the regulation of NOV expression and localization. Plays an essential role in gap junction communication in the ventricles. Reference: n/a.
